I am committed to sustainability and ecologically friendly practices in the creation of ART and DESIGN. Most of the work is made from recycled and reclaimed materials, hand-made recycled papers, and when possible, eco-friendly inks and paints.
My designs are limited editions. Send me an email if you are interested in purchasing any artwork you see on this page.

Winter Trees and Summer Breeze

Winter Trees

20" x 60"

Acrylic on canvas
$750

As the biggest plants on earth, trees not only provide us with oxygen, store carbon, stabilize the soil, and enrich the world's wildlife, they are absolutely beautiful in all seasons. I just love trees and this is why I live in a temperate rain-forest. If you get a chance, paint a tree! Better yet, plant one!
